Hello-
Yes it is good hygienic habit to clean your penis foreskin daily, it prevents any infection or abnormal smell due to deposition of smegma. And yes it is good to retract your foreskin completely.
The friend you have mentioned might have been suffering from Phimosis (tight foreskin). It result in the tear of the attachment of the foreskin resulting in bleeding during sex. It is advised to do foreskin oiling and stretching daily to avoid such complication.

Yes, it is not harmful but chronic exposure to loud sound causes permanent hearing loss, stress, anxiety and many more health related issues like headache, increases pulse rate etc. Avoid use of headphones.

Dear lybrate user,
first of all let me make it clear that you may experience nightfalls/nocturnal emission of sperm for twice in a month if you do not have a habit of masturbation or if you do not indulge in any sexual intercourse. However, if you experience nightfalls for more than twice in a month then it is surely abnormal.
Every person experience an erection after a sleep of 6-8 hours. Such an erection during waking up from sleep is a typical characteristic of normal sexual system. An uninterrupted sleep of 6-8 hours pacifies the nerves which get hyper-activated after a long day's work & results in a sexual arousal by channelising the blood flow towards the male sexual system.
But an erected penis cannot ejaculate involuntarily unless it is being rubbed as it undergoes during masturbation & sexual intercourse. Involuntary ejaculation of semen indicates that the internal muscles of your pelvic region are not strong enough to control the outflow of semen.
However, nightfalls indicate that you are having a normal erection as well as it also proves that there is no deficit of sperm production in testis. Nightfall implies that there is only loss of control of the pelvic muscles. It is often observed that an unmarried person suffering from nightfalls complains of premature ejaculation after marriage if his problem of nightfalls is left untreated. The cause behind such quick discharge during sex is same as it is in case of nightfalls i. E. Loss of the control of the muscles of pelvic region.
One of the common causes behind the loss of control of pelvic muscles is digestive troubles. Slow digestion compels the blood to circulate around the organs of digestive system until the ingested food is fully broken down into soluble food molecules. Such circulation of blood around the digestive system for a prolonged period often results in sluggish circulation of blood around the other systems of human body. Sexual system is one of such system whose normal functioning gets disturbed due to impaired digestion.
To get rid of nightfalls carry on the following medication as directed:- 1) 5 drops of homoeopathic china 30 or cinchona officinalis 30, thrice daily, in empty stomach.
2) take 30 drops of homoeopathic mother tincture withania somnifera q in a cup of water daily after lunch
apart from medicines you could try a home therapy. Soak 5 grams of fennel seeds (snouff) & 5 grams of rock candy (misri) in a glass of water before going to bed daily. On waking up next morning drink the snouf-misri soaked water in empty stomach.
Kindly note that this medication may not be sufficient enough to take care of your problem. These medicines are based on the symptoms of your diseased condition & these medicines need to be complemented by further deep-acting remedies in order to permanently eliminate the underlying cause of the disease. So I would suggest you to consult me privately via lybrate as it is very necessary to diagnose the proper underlying cause of your problem if you are wishing for a permanent relief from your problems. A permanent annihilation of the underlying cause of the disease will not only provide you relief from your troubles but it will also cease any chance of further relapse of that particular disease condition.

When a man goes to a public gym and chooses to use the shower or toilets, he might worry about potential infections that could be lurking in such public areas. The good news is that careful penis care when out and about can help ensure a man can make use of the facilities but not have to worry about dragging home a few infections after he's done. Here's what a guy needs to know to stay in optimum penis health when using public facilities, such as a gym shower.

Infections are rampant in public facilities

Unfortunately, it's true - many men wind up with some sort of infection if they don't take proper care to protect themselves when using a public facility. The biggest culprit is athlete's foot, which many a man has contracted because he made the mistake of walking barefoot through the gym showers!

But when it comes to penis health, there are some infections that can be readily transferred from one man to another, simply by making a few missteps in the hygiene department. Here's how to avoid that problem.

- Never use another guy's towel. If another man offers the use of his towel, always say no, thanks. Even if the towel seems fresh and dry, it's impossible to know where it's been. Perhaps it was in a locker next to another towel that has already been used; bacteria could make its way from one towel to another. And that's just one scenario! The smart man will always carry his own towel to the public shower.

- Avoid the shower curtain or door. When in an individual shower, try not to brush up against the shower curtain, door, or walls, for that matter. Though these areas are cleaned often, just one guy with an infection of some sort can leave a little trace of it between cleanings of those showers, and then a man has a serious problem on his hands - or his penis, as it were.

- Never use another man's hygiene products. If a man needs a razor or shaving cream in a pinch, it's best to go without it rather than use one that is offered by someone else. That's because even if the razor or cream has never been used before, the cream could have certain chemicals that are not good for penis health - and the same is true for the razor if it has moisture strips or other bells and whistles in addition to the blade itself.

- Clean off the toilet. Though the idea of getting an infection from a toilet seat has mostly been put to rest by science, there is still the chance that it could happen in a gym toilet area. Why? Because some men who go the toilets do so when they are hot and sweaty, and thus leave a layer of that sweat on the seat. This moisture can easily help a dermatological condition hang around for the next guy to pick up. So to be sure, simply use a towel or cloth to wipe down the seat before sitting.

- Watch the hands. Finally, remember that though a man's junk might not touch a shower curtain or shower wall, his hands certainly might. That means a guy should wash his hands thoroughly before he washes the rest of his body, and wash his hands last before getting out of the shower as well. This can help a guy avoid picking up any sort of fungal or bacterial issue from the surfaces and then transfer that to his body.

And of course, a good penis health routine wouldn't be complete without the generous daily use of a specially formulated penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin). A guy will want to look for a crème that contains retinol, better known as vitamin A, which offers some protection against fungal infections. He will also want a crème that contains vitamin D, the better for keeping penis health in good shape overall.

Dear Lybrate user. Many people think that they are ADDICTED to masturbation / sex, where as they are actually just used to masturbate / have sex regularly and can not quit easily. Addiction is problematic and being used to is not, though there is only a thin line separating both. Masturbation / sex is not harmful as long as it is not an addiction. We need to determine if you are addicted or just used to. Sex thoughts, Sex addiction, masturbation addiction, porn films addiction etc comes under behavior addiction. Behavioral addiction is a form of addiction that involves a compulsion to engage in a rewarding non-drug-related behavior – sometimes called a natural reward – despite any negative consequences to the person's physical, mental, social or financial well-being. Behavior addiction needs to be curbed or controlled using your own self will power. Diverting your mind and body away from the circumstances which compels you for the addictive habit, with the help of physical exercises, games, entertainment etc can help you. Never sleep alone. Be always with your family even at night etc are some other tips. Willpower is the key always. Behavioral therapy also works well. Take care.

The initial choice of treatment is a steroid ointment that is locally applied. (This can be suggested by a doctor after you are examined in person) The ointment softens the foreskin and is applied for up to 6 weeks. When full retraction is possible the ointment is stopped.
If this treatment is unsuccessful, a circumcision (surgical removal of foreskin) may be advised.

Dear , there is only one pill an I pill which she can take within 72 hours. But that pill should be kept for emergency use only. Try to use condom as it will prevent pregnancy and protection from sexually transmitted disease. However if you all don't want there is a tablet today which she can out 15 min before sex. Otherwise usual oral contraceptive pill for 21 days in a month followed by one week gap before starting second pack. Ovral or femilone.
